Why would anyone want to win anything by deceit and cheating? Where is the challenge? where is the Honor in that?
If anyone has to win anything by exploiting a obvious flaw in the game, their supposed victory is pointless, petty and self defeating.
You can call it any name you please, to sooth your conscience. But its a cowards move, and cheating.
You win nothing but the disgust, and scorn of other players. And bellittle your self.
Now ask your self is all that worth winning a game?
762_XC were you saying something about there are no posts of accusations about cheating?
Much is being said about launching an admin shuttle against a group of fighters being an exploit, hence a cheat.
How much damage does this cause the fighters? Hmmm? 0? Hmmm?
How often does this "tactic" work? I have attempted this 3 times. Each time either the shuttle was ignored or it was destroyed by a single phaser shot. If you drop a shuttle and it is closer to the fighters than you, the fighters should shoot it down. I have spent phasers many times on a launched shuttle as well.
Not that I care if this becomes rule or not, I attempted it 3 times and it didn't help by more than a single phaser shot. Which is about the same damage as the ESG loses.
Now, if i were to drop a shuttle and go 1/2 way across the map. Then you send fighters after me and they went for my shuttle instead, then yes I would say you have a valid point. Until then, you will have to deal with the admin shuttle the same way plasma races deal with Wild Weasels...
My feelings are that someone is upset because they were beaten. How often I have felt the same, I couldn't count. But this is a game. The best part is that after you lose, you can play again in a few minutes. Get on with your life and when you come up with a real solution to a real problem, please post it.
My vote is that this is a valid tactic. Feel free to make a rule against it anyway (if it is wanted) as it won't change the way I fly either way.
